In 2020, particularly in the Democratic primary, we have this great debate about capitalism. Some people say capitalism work. Some people say it doesn't. Lots of the candidates are suggesting that we need to go beyond capitalism. In the midst of that debate, one of the world's leading economists, Branko Milanovic, who's a distinguished academic and ex-World Bank chief economist, suggests that there's nothing beyond capitalism. The entire world works off the same system, whether it's Denmark or the United States or Chile or China or Singapore. We're all capitalists.
In this episode of Keen On, Andrew talks to Branko Milanovic about his most recent book, Capitalism, Alone: The Future of the System That Rules the World, out now from Belknap Press.
